8 Comments to “Greatest Western Movie – The Shootout Has Begun”
Hi, I’m looking for the title of a western movie that had a man who hid some money in the bottom of a church and was in jail. He was busted out, and began the chase for the gold.
There was a scene where two men were tied together with a stick of dynamite in their pants and one barrel of water, the winner jumping in the water to not get blown up.
Anyone know the title ??

I recently picked up a copy of”100 Greatest westerns” and was surprised that the movie “the Culpeper Cattle Company” was not listed. Altho I have njoyed most of the westerns on flim I think the movie I mentioned rates right up there with the best.

I would submit : Cilpepper Cattle co., Trooper Hook, Devil’s Doorway, THE Appoloosa, Dame La cabeza de Alfreado Garcia,and my favorite, Sgt. Rutledge.

The movies you listed are great, but I was suprised to not see Crossfire Trail or Monte Walsh.

Your listing of the top 100 Western Movies missed:
Sergeant Rutledge.
El Dorado. (The original with Marlon Brando)
The Appoloosa.
McLintock.

How could you not include Lee Marvin and Jack Palance in Monte Walsh? Tom Sellecks remake was pretty good too, even using a lot of the same scenes-what better tribute could there be? Also Culpepper Cattle company. Tombstone seems to make several of these lists, but I find it overrated.

Enjoyed the mag muchly. Disagreed with some of the choices but that’s subjective isn’t it? A comment in the review of Red River caught my interest….the arms ,clothing and equipment
entirely innapropriate for the time protrayed. True, and even more true for such icons as the Searchers, John Ford Cavalry
epics and almost all Spaghetti Oaters. Also the changes to the original story i.e. the endings to Red River and the Shootist. Final note..when Red River was first seralised in the Saturday Evening Post there were complaining letters re the illustrations innacuracys re arms and equipments….nothing changes. Again I loved Your publication..good stuff.

Seems like the film mentioned about money hid in a church was “thunderbolt and lightfoot” with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges.
